I’ve been trying to learn a little PHP. Great post for me and people who already use other languages like asp or asp.net and want to explore PHP. This is very helpful. Keep on the great work. I just want to say that there is no need to dive too deep in PHP if you don’t want to. A versatile coder can just pick what they need for a particular scenario.

Thanks for pointing out the error. I’ve clarified the language 🙂

Correct would be:

“So in this case, “Too small” would still only show when $value was not greater than 5.

Well, kinda. I still think I need to go to pre-basics!

Great question, Mary! HTML is a “markup language” that your web browser reads. PHP is a “logic/programming language” that can be used to create HTML.

HTML is more like, “This section is a sidebar. These words are italicized.” PHP is a language where you can do things like say “If I’ve written at least one WordPress post on this topic, link to this URL, otherwise don’t.” So they’re two different languages with two different purposes.

Am I making sense?

I guess I need a PHP primer class! (maybe I am pre-beginner) Like, what is the difference between HTML and PHP? (I thought only HTML was used in the text portion of websites.)
